YEREVAN, AUGUST 14, ARMENPRESS: A youth congress opened today at
Saint Virgin monastery in Antelias, Lebanon, the seat of the Armenian
Catholicos of the Great House of Cilicia, Aram I. The congress is
sponsored by Aram I. He also chairs the gathering.

The youth division of the Cilicia Great House has helped to organize
the gathering, entitled Armenian Youth in the Face of 21-st Century’s
Challenges. It has brought together 110 young Armenians from different
countries.

The press division of the Cilicia Catholicosate said a special
commission has selected a restricted number of young people so that
the gathering does not develop into a tourist adventure.

The participants will discuss a wide scale of issues on the concerns
of young Diaspora Armenians. A special resolution will be adopted
with priorities that will be submitted to Catholicos Aram I for his
consideration in his future plans.
